Did anyone besides Booker, VanHollen and Murphy speak in the Senate chamber today?

[Stinky The Clown]

A member was assaulted. The GOOPers scurried like roaches. Did any other Dems take the podium?

[sinkingfeeling]

1. Add Warren, Kim, and Schumer to your list.

The Hill says 17.

Many of the 17 Senate Democrats who spoke likened Padilla’s removal to actions seen in dictatorial states and called for a bipartisan investigation.

2. Schatz from Hawaii gave a good speech.

8. Good to Know.. Mahalo!

[Jack Valentino]

3. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer---

While I have not thought very highly of him earlier this year, in his response to Trump,
I think he has been "stepping up" as our national crisis got worse---
and perhaps has taken note of the criticism of party loyalists and progressives---

credit where credit is due.

12. TY, JV. that was pretty forceful from Sen Schumer. Good

[W_HAMILTON]

4. Yes, plenty. Start tuning into C-SPAN and less of whatever media you are consuming now that is failing you.

https://www.c-span.org/program/us-senate/senate-session/661137

Starts around 03:45:00 and then it's Democratic senators speaking for over three hours until the feed cuts away to something else.

6. What I saw WAS on (failing me?) C-Span

I'll message you next time since we don't watch hours of TV.

[W_HAMILTON]

10. Or just safely assume that our elected Democratic leaders are speaking out against this administration and...

...doing what they can to oppose this fascist administration.

Now that you know that plenty of other Democrats spoke out -- now what? Did you ask so you could get footage of what they said so you can watch it? If so, what did you think of all the others that were speaking out as well?

[Stinky The Clown]

16. I see where you're going.

You assumed that my simply asking the question had the agenda of bashing Democrats.

You're wrong on that.

You also assumed I was watching some other news source than the one that has your approval. Wrong again.

You imply that you watch hours of C=Span and suggest I should, too. I wish I had that kind of time.

See ya around campus.

[W_HAMILTON]

18. You didn't answer my question -- what did you think of the footage you were subsequently provided with?

Or did you not watch it? In which case, why did you ask the question you did?

[electric_blue68]

15. TY for the link. Just finished watching the Dem Senators talking about Sen Padillo's mistreatment.

They did well, even Schumer (my Sen).
Particular props to Sens Murphy, Schatz, Warren, Alsobrooks, Kelly, Schiff...and probably a few more but it's 4:15 AM, and I really should be asleep, so I'm forgetting a few!

Now we'll see later today if any Republican Senateors will grow a spine, and condemn this abusive, dangerous action! [I won't hold my breath 🙄 I am, however, willing to be surprised]
And someone pointed out Koem could have stopped them from pushing Srn Padillo out. Freaking trumphf toady twit!

(yawn)

[vapor2]

5. Called Murphys office

And said more dems need to call for noems resignation

[mahina]

7. and Padiʻlaʻs colleague from Caalifornia, Adam Schiff

But I didn’t watch TV all day so I don’t know other than the little clips I saw. I suppose you could find out. As the Senate has their own website.

[wanderer54]

9. Patty Murray

[maveric]

11. Has Fetterman chimed in?

I’m curious to hear what he thinks of Padilla’s mugging.

[Hekate]

14. I think he's chimed out

[Hekate]

13. Elizabeth Warren took a verbal flamethrower onto the steps of the Capitol & let the media have it

She did good

[Stinky The Clown]

17. Ha! The media deserve all the derision they get.

They seem to all cower before the Great Oz.
